Equipped with half truths and misinformation, Tea Party Republicans have joined the other anti worker pro-privatization republicans in promoting the dismantling of the Postal Service and vilification of Postal Workers. TeaParty.net and the conservative Council for Citizens Against Government Waste are promoting Republicans Dennis Ross (FL.) and Darrell Issa’s (CA.) H.R.2309 legislation:
“With misguided zeal, Tea Party and conservative groups are supporting legislation that would undermine a vital public service —
the world’s largest, most trusted, most efficient, and least expensive postal system. We must ensure they don’t succeed.”
— APWU Legislative and Political Director Myke Reid
Postal Workers need to contact their Congressional Representatives and demand they support H.R.1351 instead.
